Following Tuesday’s 4-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, the New York Mets have made some roster changes to try and bolster the offense and rotation. Infielder Mark Vientos is being called back up to the major league club, along with left-handed starting pitcher Joey Lucchesi, who will start Wednesday in Philadelphia.
Vientos had a brief but successful stint with the Mets earlier this season when he replaced outfielder Starling Marte on the roster, who went on the bereavement list from April 27-29. Vientos ended up going 3-for-7 during this brief stint with the big league club, including a Joey Lucchesi was scratched from his scheduled start with the Triple-A Syracuse Mets Tuesday so that he could pitch for the major league club Wednesday.Lucchesi’s callup comes with the Mets in need of a starting pitcher for Wednesday’s game. While the team initially planned to reinsert Adrian Houser back from the bullpen into the rotation for this game, he ended up having to warm up for a potential appearance in the ninth inning of Tuesday’s loss, making him unavailable to start.
The Mets will likely be making yet another roster move prior to soon. The team is expected to activate reliever Drew Smith from the injured list this week after he completed his rehab from shoulder inflammation that knocked him out on Apr. 27.
